Will this trick show up even the 'incompatible' apps on the store?

[sixaxis94]

In build.props, I saw 2 lines about the make and model of the phone.. my problem is that a lot of high def apps don't show up in my play store because its not 'compatible' although they work flawlessly

So if I change the name to, say, a galaxy s2, will all the incompatible apps show up?
Will this cause problems?

Well, so far, every fancy app I've tried works without any problems (though Real Racing 2 did lag at certain places, but a restart fixed it) so that's no problem

If I update to a newer CM9 build or something it won't give problems or something would it?


EDIT: I updated to the model and brand of a galaxy s2, rebooted my device, cleared my Play Store data but it still shows up as the Defy (real racing 2 and backstab don't show up yet).. even the play store on my comp shows my device as a defy

Will I have to do a full data wipe and reinstall my OS for this to work?

no it should have worked...
maybe ull need to login to Google again...

also note that u can only register 10 devices per email a/c so u better not keep doing this...

Also having difficulties. Changed the lines but three play store keeps telling me its a defy.
It changed in the about page...
I thought you could delete a device from your desktop. Would it still count?
Maybe only troubles with ics?

There are many different places to download from e.g. 4shared, if the google playstore shows that my defy is incompatible. Find it much easier then changing build.prop.
